Urinetown

Ok. I've been in a show 'Urinetown' for a while - the final show was on Saturday night. Which means I have more time to myself, and therefore, more time to write here. It was previewed, and reviewed both positively actually (which is always nice) so I thought I'd share those with ya.

Apologies for no posts for the past century by the way.

The preview:

Please avail yourself of toilets...? Well, maybe I will...

This is just a note to say I've popped a few images up on posts in the archive. With my limited capabilities in html, I'm now going to attempt to link to them - wish me luck!

Canada in the winter December 2002...

Canada - January 2003...

Europe and U.K - February 2003...

Oh yeah, here's two others that I forgot to add to the archives, can't be bothered sticking them where they're relevant.

















One evening I went wandering the streets of Roma when this very fine drizzle came down. It had the effect of some mysterious, other-worldly feeling over the ancient ruins. (As, in hindsight - it kind of is..) Unfortunately, this photo of the Pantheon doesn't really do it justice. Although it was wonderful seeing this area minus the thousands of tourists...

Grumpy old man (at 25) syndrome

Yesterday I saw saw two teenagers sitting at a tram stop trying to eat one another. Maybe they were kissing, who knows - it was hard to tell.

Pet peeves

- People whose walking trajectory on a straight footpath takes on a 'S' type form - thereby infuriating people like me trying to get to our destination at some point this year...

- People who insist on pushing the pedestrian lights button when someone has clearly already done so. The worst offenders then repeatedly push the button to make sure it works. (What are you - five?!) The button is pushed. It isn't getting any pushed-er!

I saw this on the back of a truck yesterday which left me perplexed...

Warning: This vehicle in constant forward or reversing motion.

Since when do you need to warn someone that a vehicle moves forwards and backwards. My car does, I don't have a warning label - I thought vehicles were supposed to move forwards and backwards. Isn't that why you have a vehicle in the first place? So it can take you places? Irrespective of whether it does it backwards or forwards?

ol' London town

think i might go see a show tonight. I have a desire to see Les Mis. I've never actually seen it on stage before.
Went to the Tower yesterday. There are so many old lady's walking very slowly up narrow twisty stairs... Ya just wanna push 'em down...

Did i just say that out loud?

Going to Salisbury tomorrow to see family friends i haven't seen in about a decade. Caught up with the son last night. Somehow managed to recognise him... Soon headed for colder climes...Not entirely sure why - but Edinburgh is supposed to be nice. Every person I've spoken to over my travels has said so.

Sorry, really boring entry. I'll shutup now.
